bring you up to date:

august 2009 crashed my R6 into an audi, making it shorter.

bought a new frame and built it back up. I sent off the V5 to get it all done legally with the frame swap, and took it for the inspection today. I've been riding around happily for a bit over a month now until i took it in.

they said because it isnt a brand new frame, i'd have to get it Q plated, which will cost 45 for the SVA check, and 55 for the registration...

i know for a fact that it wont pass an SVA check, so fuck it.

MOT is about to run out...

As a result, no road bike.

What's a bike like this worth? i'm thinking sell it, saying whats what, and making up the difference to buy another one?

or any other suggestions?

anyone want to buy a lovely low-ish milage R6 with FSH? Wink

Prepare it for the track and sell it as a track bike. Try to get some spare R6 wheels and put wets on them. Throw in a couple of paddock stands. cheap fibreglass bodywork, shark fin etc and you'll sell it for way more than for an unroadworthy road bike.

Plus you can sell the decent bodywork/headlights/indicators/tail light seperately and be quids in.

Sell it/use it as a track bike?

You sure it needs to be Q plated?

That bike that DK motorcycles sold some kiddy had a used frame and wasn't Q plated...

Then again the brown stuff really did hit the fan when it all came out.

£50 or £500...
im cheap.

i could make it a track bike, as i've got a spare set of fairings, but i dont really want to put any money into it.

i was hoping for about £1500 for it if i sold it. maybe about right considering some go for over 2500?

got a steering damper, gear indicator and two exhausts. fuck knows. im gutted.

breaking it for spares is also an option i guess, but that takes time and you're left with a pile of shit bits afterwards. but as id want another R6 that wouildnt be so bad if i could recoup my losses.

off the top of my head i might get the following:

> fairing £150
> headlight £100
> engine £250?
> wheels with tyres £100
> swingarm £30
> undertray, rear light and battery tray £100 (no idea why these sell so well)
> shock and forks £150?
> wiring and all other bits £100

then i'm left with loads of shit bits. postage costs, ebay fees etc...
